What it's like - Anonymous - 08-15-2003
I'm thinking (and only just started thinking) about going to Brisbane for a year or two. I would really appreciate some of your views just mainly on what it's like over there. Is it worth going, is the money good, is there enough work for entry level, is the weather really that hot? (I'm from South African so hot weather isn't really a major concern though) Anything you can think of that would convince me to go or to stay as far away as possible. It would be great if any of you South Africans over there can reply cuz I've also heard that it's quite a closed community of South Africans over there and apperantly you're just loving it! So, yes anything. Thanks :?: :?: :?:

Though not South African, I would comment Brisbane as a place to make some money, and majority of the expatriate community are here for that purpose only (Of course a very rich section is there), very much multi-ethnic, lot of South Africans too. You can choose the standard to live. Everything is available, virtually everything , Chilean Apple to Himalayan herbs. Scottish whiskies to Call girls!
The exchange rate is AUD. 1 US $ = 3.65 AUDirhams (Local currency). It would be easy to find jobs for professionals and one with technical background, since a lot of construction activities going around. Whether is belocalle with the help of A/Cs. Local people are very good. Just a brief opinion, other point of views are expected! 8)
